Does topical cream work for bacterial vaginosis?

Patient's question:

My aunt has been experiencing vaginal itching recently, and it becomes unbearable at night. Even after using Wufanjie for cleaning, it doesn't help. Additionally, her vaginal discharge has been increasing, and she has been experiencing lower abdominal pain. After a thorough examination, it was discovered that she suffers from bacterial vaginosis. She has bought many creams, but you know, are creams effective for bacterial vaginosis?

Doctor's answer:

The ointment can only relieve the superficial symptoms. The vagina discharges secretions every day, and irritation of the external genitalia still leads to itching. It is recommended to undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor, following a one-week course. After the course is completed, a follow-up of the routine vaginal discharge test is necessary to understand the treatment effect before formulating the next treatment plan. During the treatment period, sexual intercourse must be strictly prohibited, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided, and more water, fresh fruits, and vegetables should be consumed.
